OXM UK: Soul Calibur IV Review

When it comes to the actual fighting, Soul Calibur IV shows off its pedigree, but when this is twinned by a single-player mode that feels as empty as this does, it would be wrong to praise this too much.

It's fortunate the series can now rest on the safety net of online play and character customization because, without it this would be a slender, anorexic package - a tad ironic, when you consider just how much attention Namco has lavished on its buxom babes.
